I'm afraid of the dark because my brain is conspiring against me. This is a song about that, and yelling, and wishing I had someone with me to do battle the scary monsters that keep me up some nights. This is one of my favourites to perform.

lyrics

Stay up with me at night
When there's not a drop of light around
When I'm scared to death of monsters come to
Take me to their lairs underground
When I can't feel alive unless I kill my self inside again
Won't you keep me sane tonight?
Won't you keep me sane tonight?

Stay asleep with me all day
When there's just no other way to live
When the monsters are the people
And a person thinks that what I've made is his
When I can't get out of bed because the monsters in my head won't leave me alone
Won't you keep me sane tonight?
Won't you keep me sane tonight?

Cos I'm sick of all the things that keep me running from my dreams,
Sick of all the people saying "No."
Sick of all the people who want nothing in the world
More than they want me to go

And please give me a call
When there's just no hope at all for you
Come with me and sing a song to
People who all think it's wrong to sing
And be with me the day when all my monsters go away for good
Yeah, won't you keep me sane tonight?
Won't you keep me sane tonight?
Say, won't you keep me sane tonight?
Yeah, won't you keep me sane tonight?

Unbearable

This album speaks to me in a special way, absolute best of the best. Songs about longing, missing people, and pure sweet calm. Completely touching and amazing. Nathaniel Liles
